Union Station

	When Union Station was built, it was the largest railroad station in the South; it served rail passengers for 117 years until 1976. The Transit Authority now occupies the restored station. It is designed in the Richardson Romanesque style. (See Index for works by H. H. Richardson on this site.) According to a brochure produced by the Transit Authority of River City , it is constructed of "brick faced limestone ashlar quarried in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The trim is Bedford stone, and the roof, trussed with a combination of heavy wood and iron, is covered with slate."
